The Ukrainian embassy in Ottawa says one of its citizens died in a deadly truck attack in France last week but won’t confirm whether the victim is a missing student studying in Edmonton. Mykhaylo (Misha) Bazelevskyy, 22, has permanent resident status in Canada, but was travelling on a Ukrainian passport. Bazelevskyy is a fourth-year bachelor of commerce student at MacEwan University who was in Nice for a summer program. Spokesperson Kostiantyn Kostenko says the embassy is waiting for an official list of victims. “(When) the French authorities present an official list of victims, we’ll know if this person is recognized dead or not,” he said. There are still dozens of people

who haven’t regained consciousness from the attack, he added. The embassy will not confirm anything as long as there is the smallest chance that Bazelevskyy is alive, he said. “We (are) just protecting the family,” Kostenko said. David Beharry, media relations officer with MacEwan, also said he could not confirm whether the death was Bazelevskyy. Bazelevskyy was one of five students and a faculty member participating in a summer program at the European Innovation Academy. University officials say they were heading to the Promenade des Anglais to enjoy the fireworks, but inclement weather convinced three of them to turn back. Bazelevskyy and another student were on the promenade when a truck full of weapons plowed into the crowd celebrating Bastille Day last Thursday. the canadian press with files from tim Querengesser/metro
